SPEECH AT CLUB EXPLAINED
Navy Department Head Says Noth
ing In Talk at Seattle Could Be
Construed as Intended to In
cite Violence by Sailors.
A dozen perspiring. Democrats -walked
15 blocks yesterday to greet Josephus
Daniels, of North Carolina, Secretary
of the Navy, who was Portland's guest
for Just 20 minutes. With Mrs. Daniels,
he arrived from Seattle on the Shasta
Limited at 6:30 and left for San Diego
at 5:50.
The dozen "faithful" assembled at
the Federal building. There was not
an automobile In the crowd, although
it contained several Federal office
holders. The asphalt, writhing under
a 93-degree sun, undulated beneath
their boots as they marched.
"This Is democracy with a small
'd,' " said District Attorney Reames,
mopping his brow at Davis street,
about half way to the depot.
"I thought someone would have an
automobile," panted Collector of Cus
toms Burke. .
Delegation Im Late.
"We must keep within our salaries,"
said Postmaster Myers.
Although the train was 10 minutes
late, the welcoming party, having un
derestimated its marching ability, was
a minute later.
Secretary Daniels travels a la Pull
man, with Mrs. Daniels and his aide,
Lieutenant-Commander L. C. Fuller.
He looked "cool as a cucumber" beneath-
his clean new Panama as he
stepped from the car and received the
greetings of the perspiring disciples of
Jefferson.
Secretary Daniels denies having said
anything In his speech at the Rainier
Club at Seattle Thursday night which
could be construed as having Incited
the troubles of the following night In
which bluejackets from the fleet. Join
ing with citizens, "cleaned out" several
places occupied as headquarters by So
cialists and Industrial Workers of the
, World.
Reference Declared General.
"I made no reference to any Indi
vidual, to the Socialists or the Indus
trial Workers of the World," said Sec
retary Daniels.
"I did. say that the- Stars and
Stripes stood for law and order in this
Nation," he continued. "I referred to
the symbolism of the emblem, and said
that it was the only flag that we
should have In our land. I said that if
an engineer, running a train, saw a red
nag ahead, he would know that It
meant danger, and that It was time to
apply the brakes."
(secretary Daniels was not a whit
disturbed when he was told that he
was accused of being responsible for
the riots which occurred the night fol
lowing his speech.
"I was speaking in general terms,"
he said, "and made no reference to Se
attle."
Mayor Cotterill Hears . Speech.
Someone asked, him if the Navy De
partment would take any action in re
gard to the . sailors who took part in
the smashing.
"I have had no report from the Ad
miral of the fleet on the matter as
yet," he said.
mayor joenn, or Seattle, was a
guest of the Rainier Club at the ban
quet at which Secretary Daniels spoke,
and welcomed the Secretary to the city.
The Mayor took exception to the way
in which the Times "covered" the sec
retary's speech, and issued an order
forbidding the paper to Issue either
Saturday or Sunday. With the aid of
an injunction and a restraining order
obtained from the ' Superior Court of
Seattle, the Times was able to override
the Mayor's order, and Issued both days.
Entertainment la Projected.
Among those who welcomed Secre
tary Daniels to Portland yesterday
were C. C. Chapman, representing the
Portland. Commercial Club, and J. R.
Rogers, chairman of the reception com

er Fuller for the Secretary's enter
tainment a week from today, when he
returns to Portland.

and will remain until 9 P. M. He will
be taken for an automobile ride over

the launch of Collector of Customs
Burke. Later there will be an infor
mal reception for Secretary' Daniels

FR1EDMANN PATIENT DIES
Sensational Dash Across Continent
for Treatment Is Recalled.
TO PS FIELD, Mass., July 20. (Spe
cial.) Alford Warrlner Cooley, . ex
Unlted States Assistant Attorney-Gen
eral and an ex-Judge of the New Mex
ico Supreme Court, the most prominent
patient to receive Dr. Friedmann's
cure" for tuberculosis, succumbed to
the disease here last night.
His dramatic 3000-mile dash across
the continent from Silver City, N. -M.,
to Providence, R. I., where Dr. Fried
mann was then holding his only New
England clinic, was sensational.
Judge Cooley served on the Supreme
bench -of New Mexico from 191W to
July 1, 1910, when he resigned. He was
a member of the Union, Harvard and
City Clubs of New York; of the Metro
politan and Chevy Chase Clubs of
Washington, and of the Loyal Legion
and the Am'erican Bar Association.
Widespread belief . that Dr. Frled-
mann had discovered a cure for con
sumption renewed Judge Cooley's hope,
and it was through the offices of Col
onel Roosevelt, it Is said, that an ap
pointment was made with Dr. Fried
mann. BURGLAR WORKS IN CHURCH
Thief Gets Small Amount From
Sunn j side Edifice.
For 'the second -time In four months
the Sunnyside Methodist Church was
broken Into by a burglar, Saturday
night. The only loot obtained was a
small sum in one of the Sunday school
collection boxes. The thief pried open
the closet where a valuable communion
set is kept but for some reason did not
take It- He went from place to place
about the building, prying open every
receptacle where it appeared that valu
ables might be kept.
A similar occurrence four months ago
netted the intruder nothing, so far as
could be discovered.

ROSEBURQ, Or., July 21. (Spe

this morning: aboard a Southern Pa
cific train. Secretary Daniels said he
cared nothing about any memorial the
Seattle Socialists might send to Presi
dent Wilson, but that he could not dis
cuss the matter until informed by the
President.
The Secretary said he wanted. It
made clear that his remarks at Seattle
la his toast to the American flag; did
not refer to a particular class but to
any class who might Insult the flag.
"I still maintain the same feelings I
had when I made that speech and I
still Insist no man Is so great that he
has a right to insult the American
flag," said Mr. Daniels with emphasis.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 20. Respon
sibility for the riots Friday night, in
which the headquarters of the So
cialists and the Industrial Workers of
the World were sacked and the furni
ture burned in the streets by civilians,
led by sailors from the Pacific reserve
fleet, was placed on Secretary of the
Navy Daniels in a memorial to Presi
dent .Wilson adopted today by the rad
ical wing of the Socialist party. The
headquarters of this branch of the So
cialists at Fifth- avenue and "Virginia
street was one of the places .wrecked
by the crowd Friday night.
The memorial denounces Secretary
Daniels, for his speech at the' Rainier
Club Thursday night. In which he made
a brief reference to patriotism and de
nounced the red flag and its support
ers. ...
Flag Desecration Denied.
The memorial sets forth that the So
cialists party has never advocated vi
olence and that the Socialists have
"never advocated, done, attempted or
even remotely dreamed of any act of
desecration to the flag of the United
States or any emblem or insignia
thereof." ,
"Moreover," continues the- memorial,
"we submit that the chief way in which
the National emblem is desecrated In
this and other cities of the Union today
Is by cloaking of rascality and ty
rannical abuses of the aspiring poor
within its folds. In short, making a
lie of Its symbolism. We call attention,
Mr. President, to the saying of Dr.
Johnson, 'Patriotism is the last ref
uge of the scoundrel We have stead
fastly and consistently insisted that

Acquiescence Based on Finan

DEBT TO BE SUPERVISED

Principle Applied to Other Cen

Capital Believes.
WASHINGTON. -July 20. Secretary
Bryan's plan for the extension of the
protecting wing of the United States
over Nicaragua broached to the foreign
relations committee of the Senate .yes
terday, with the consent and approval
of President Wilson, has become the
absorbing topic of diplomatic and Con
gressional consideration.
Members of the Senate evinco a
growing conviction that the principle
to be applied to Nicaragua is one that
the Wilson Administration would be
glad to see extended to the other Cen
tral American Republics. The original
Nicaraguan treaty has been the sub
ject of open discussion among Sena
tors. This compact did not go further.
however, than to guarantee the United
States exclusive canal rights and a
naval base site, in exchange - for a
payment of $3,000,000 in gold.
Opposition la Developed.
The latter project, to extend a virtual
protectorate over Nicaragua, has as
sumed the character of an international
policy which members of the Senate are
discussing with emphatic expressions
of opinion. It is believed that Senators
Bacon, Clarke of Arkansas, and some
other influential members of the for
eign relations committee will take an
attitude of: opposition, toward the
BryanWiIson plan; w'hlle ' Senators
O'Gorman, Burton and several others
are known to favor many of its es
sential points.
, Secretary Bryan . has not proposed.
It is understood, that the United States
shall assume or guarantee the debts
of Nicaragua. The desire of Nicaragua
for control of its customs resources by
the Tjnited States, so that it could se
cure loans to refund Its pressing debts,
has been known for some time and met
the opposition of the Senate foreign
relations committee when it came be
fore that body In the form of definite
treaty agreement.
f
' Definite Policy Outlined.
Secretary Bryan's plan calls for a
definite statement of policy that would
guarantee Nicaragua's Independence,
would guarantee the control by the
United States, of that country's deal
ings with foreign nations and would
put Into definite terms the recognized
principles of the Monroe doctrine, pro
hibiting foreign nations from securing
foothold on the American continent.
It Is understood, however, that the
only agreement on the question of the
International finances of Nicaragua will
be embraced In that part of the treaty
by which Nicaragua would bind her
self not to "assume or contract any
public debt," In the discharge of which
the ordinary revenues of the nation.

MRS. PANKHURST
OUTWITS POLICE
SUBSTITUTE, HEAVILY VEILED,
ARRESTED IX TAXI.
Crowd of Fifty Picks Fight With
Detectives to Help Deception
and Leader Escapes.
LONDON, July 20. Mrs. Emmaline
Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, again
has succeeded In outwitting the police.
It was thought she had been arrested
last night, but it was another woman.
impersonating .Mrs. Pankhurst, whom
the . police captured in a taxicab and
took to Scotland Tard. Then they dis
covered the mistake and liberated their
prisoner.
At first the whole affair was consid
ered a hoax, but it developed into -an
apparently well-laid scheme whereby
Mrs. Pankhurst could escape from her
flat by another passage while her Im
personator was luring away the police.
Late last night a woman emerged
from the militant leader's flat. She
walked feebly and was assisted to a
taxicab. The detectives who had
guarded the building day and night
since Mrs. Pankhurst escaped after the
rioting at the Woman's Political and
Social Union Julv 10 immediatMv i-nn-
cluded that Mrs. Pankhurst was at
tempting to flee. They jumped Into
the cab as It was driving off and or
dered the driver to proceed to Scot
land Yard. Before thev reached tJiMr
destination, they lifted the veil and
discovered thein prisoner was a woman
unknown to them.
Fifty men and women, including sev
eral stout navvies, had gathered at the
entrance as the veiled woman descended
the steps. Immediately there was a
clash between the police and women.
Two detectives managed to cling to the
cab. After the taxi had rounded the
corner the crowd scattered. Within
half an hour the detectives reappeared
and resumed their investment of the
premises.
Meanwhile, however, the flat was un
guarded and it began to dawn on the
police that probably they had been
hoodwinked.
Many mail boxes In London on h
provincial cities were damaged last
nignt by suffragettes.

YOUNG MAN TO BE SOLDIER
Chaffee Grant Says He's Dis
gusted With Whole Affair.
MOTHER'S ESTATE INTACT
If Second Sirs. Grant Dies Before
Her Husband Does, Her Son Will
Inherit Only Part She
Is Joint Manager,
SAN DIEGO, July 20. (Special.)
It was because TJ. S. Grant, Jr., feared
that his son, Chaffee Grant,-would halt
his honeymoon with the former Mrs.
America Workman-Will by legal pro
ceedings to annul a pre-nuptial agree
ment whereby the second wife of Gen
eral Grant's namesake secured the bet
ter part of the Grant millions that he
kept his wedding a week ago last
night secret.
It became known this afternoon,
however, when the bridegroom and
his bride left here for San Francisco on
the steamer Yale, en route for the
Antipodes on the liner Aorangi," that
three days after the marriage license
was issued Mrs. Will Grant visited a
firm of attorneys who have been act
ing for the bride and there ordered
the drawing up of an agreement,
whereby most of Mr. Grant's fortune,
estimated by his friends and business
associates at more than $3,000,000. be
came virtually the property of the wo
man who was formerly Mrs. Will and
still more formerly Mrs. Frederick
Elms, and whose first husband la still
living near Los Angeles. '
Toung Stepson Provided For.
By the terms of the agreement, as
reported today, Mrs. Grant will adni.1-.
lster the huge estate; lOt'-mrmarv w.s..
her husband, and will Inherit it should
she survive him, a strong probability,
as she is only 35 years old, while Mr.
Grant is past 61. In addition it is said
that the agreement provides for the
son of Mrs. Grant by her marriage with
Elms, a youth now at a San Diego mil
itary school preparing for examina
tions to West Point. Mr. Grant also
promises to use his Influence toward
getting Fred Elms an appointment to
the Military Academy.
The large estate left by the first Mrs.
Grant remains untouched by the agree
ment, but the document provides that
shall Mrs. Grant die before her hus
band, does, young Elms shall inherit
a part of the money given his mother.
The rest of the Grant millions, how
ever, will revert to the children by
the first wife.
Chaffee Grant Dlngnsted.
When asked regarding the agree
ment and the marriage of his father
tonight, Chaffee Grant said:
"Please keep me out of all this. I "
am disgusted with the whole business.
I won't tell you what my plans are,
or whether I have any."
An incident of the dinner and recep
tion last night, which was attended
by only 16 persons, although covers
had been laid for 65, was the serenade
given Mrs. Grant by former admirers.
A party of seven secured the services
of a band and from the top of motor
bus played under the windows. Among
the tunes were "There Will Be a Hot
Time In the Old Town Tonight," and
We've All Been There Before, Manj
a Time."

Members of Washington Americans
Have Narrow Escape From Death.
CHICAGO, July 20. Five persons
were drowned in Lake Michigan along
the shore near Chicago today. A heavy

bathers.
Five members of the Washington

In the undertow and brought back to
land only after a hard struggle. Gedeon

Fear Is Mexico's Friendly Overtures
Will Be Misunderstood in America.
TOKIO, July 21. Mexico's demon
strations of friendship are . pleasing,
but embarrassing to Japan. It is
feared here that they might be mis
understood in the United States and
affect the friendly relations with that
country.
The Japanese newspapers are cha
grined at the outcome of the California
negotiations, but express gratification
that Mexico, unlike the United States,
welcomes Japanese .emigrants. They
point out,' however, that anything In
the nature of an alliance between
Japan and Mexico would be impossiDle,
as it would undoubtedly awaken sus
picion that Japan was fostering belli
cose designs.
